In anatomy, "distal" means farther from the center of the body or the point of attachment. The carpometacarpal joint is the most distal among wrist - related joints as it connects the carpal bones of the wrist to the metacarpal bones of the hand. "Proximal" means closer to the center of the body or the point of attachment. The radiocarpal joint is the most proximal articulation of the wrist as it connects the radius bone of the forearm to the carpal bones of the wrist.
